The facility was opened in 1998 and has a capacity of 1,012 inmates held at medium and maximum security.
Like the adjacent McPherson Unit for female inmates, originally Grimes was managed by the Wackenhut Corrections Corp. (now GEO Group), beginning in July 1997. In 2001, after operating both at losses, Wackenhut stated that it would not renew the contract.[2]
